Wigan sign Broncos youngster

Super League side Wigan Warriors have snapped up Kai Pearce-Paul from relegated London Broncos on a four-year deal. The 18-year-old back row is set to combine his playing role with Wigan with a university course but he’s excited for his future at the DW Stadium. “It’ll be a tough challenge, but an enjoyable one and I’m really looking forward to the move,” he said. “I knew that the move to Wigan will be the right one for me.” Wigan have been impressed with the youngster, who shone in the Academy Origin series when playing for Lancashire. Executive Director Kris Radlinski said on the club’s website: “We have identified Kai as player for the future and he’ll be joining a very competitive squad where he has seasoned internationals in his position to learn from. “In the Academy games against London Broncos last year, he was very difficult to handle and he made us all take notice. We’re excited to see him develop in a Wigan Warriors jersey over the next few years.”
